Recruitment

Are you interested in pursuing membership? The basic criteria for membership is:

• A belief in God
• Believe in the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man
• Male and at least 18 years old
• Be a resident of Kentucky
• Be recommended by 2 members of the Lodge
• Receive a unanimous ballot for membership

​

There is one little known aspect of petitioning for membership of which you should be aware. You will not be asked to become a member. Masons in Kentucky do not solicit for membership, we wait for the man to ask for a petition.

​

Joining a Masonic Lodge is fairly simple, but there are some requirements that must be met.

​

• A Mason must be of sound mind and body, which does not mean that you cannot be physically handicapped, many Masons are.

​

• A Mason must believe in God, the tenets of Freemasonry are derived from a belief in the supreme being and our goals are derived from the teachings of the same.

• A Mason must be 18 years old, this is the minimum age requirement in the State of Kentucky.

• If these requirements are met, one thing further is required to join the Masonic organization. The man wishing to become a Mason must seek out his local Masonic Lodge, through its members, and request to join. Masonry does not ask men to join Masonry, but wants its members to be serious about their commitments and exercise their free will in deciding to join the Masons.

• Upon making this request, the prospective member will be asked to formally petition the Lodge affirming his qualifications for membership.
